Third graders learned to design and engineer simple robots with working battery operated circuits the students built on there own. The Scribble Bots they made can draw "sribble" pictures on their own when the swtich is turned on.
Fifth graders have been learning about the importance and effects of water on our land and human societies. As part of this Science unit, students became teams of engineers and designed clay floodplain models that would protect homes along Slippery Rock Creek from being flooded. The students also created the paper homes used in the testing step of the engineering process.

Elementary students learned about the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and constructed their own balloon parade floats with the help of robots called Ozobots. Students connected their learning about the eye and vision in Science to how Ozobots (a type of line code robots that use optic sensors) operate. This project also allowed them to learn to code the Ozobot floats to parade down "Broadway" using screen free color codes.
Students in Mr. Kowal's robotics class built robotic parade floats using modular robotics kits called Cubelets and other materials in the STEM lab. This project was inspired by the Macy's Day Thanksgiving parade.
